A Few more Firsts...

Last Friday Jillian spent the day at Grandma & Grandpa's so I could get out and go shopping! Target was so fun! Jillian was wonderful and slept great in their crib! Look how cute she is with her arms stretched out!



Our 4th of July weekend wasn't quite as exciting as in years past - Jillian was going through her 2-3 week old growth spurt and she was NOT a happy baby that weekend. Poor girl. She was insatiable all weekend, but luckily that only lasted a few days, and that's now behind us!

Jeff and I must admit, Jillian is a pretty good baby! (like we'd say anything different - she's perfect in our eyes!) She definitely has her fussy periods, but is so far (knock on wood) a good sleeper at night, which I LOVE! So far she seems to have 2 fussy periods - one sometime mid-late afternoon and the other is between 8-11pm. I'm working on getting that last fussy period from 5-7... we'll see how well she responds :) But, she's generally pretty good even in her fussy periods - with a little extra love, rocking/jiggling, and her pacifier she's quiet content! We're hoping it lasts :)

Here's Jillian relaxing after her eating... I just love how tiny she is on my legs! I know she wont be this small for long.
Here she is for the first time in her sling. She LOVED it! She was pretty fussy before I put her in there, but fell asleep after she got comfortable. I didnt keep her in there too long, I was afraid if she slept during her usual 'awake/fussy period' she'd be awake all night... not taking a chance on that! (don't mind my deer-in-head-lights look)
Here's Jillian for the first time sitting in her boppy. She's looking at her Sleep Sheep. Oh, and I did pick her up and reposition her :) I didn't leave her all slumped over.
